SPF That Saves Your Skin (and Your Future Face)

You work on deck.

You’ve got a tan line that starts mid-ankle, a forehead that’s permanently sweating, and a every shift that ends with your collar stuck to your neck.

The guests are under umbrellas and reapplying sunscreen religiously.

And you? You’re raw-dogging UV like you’re invincible.

So let’s just say it: If you’re still not taking SPF seriously, you’re aging on purpose.


Your Onboard SPF Toolkit

🧴 Face SPF (That Doesn’t Break You Out)

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF50+

A cult classic. Goes on like water, doesn’t sting when you sweat, and won’t clog your pores halfway through the day.


🌞 Body SPF (That Isn’t Greasy Chaos)

Nivea Protect & Dry Touch SPF50

Sprays on matte, dries fast, doesn’t leave you sliding around the tender. Use it. And use enough.


💄 Lip Balm SPF (Your crispy lips will thank you…and us)

Sun Bum SPF30 Lip Balm

Salt, wind, and sun will absolutely wreck your lips. Don’t wait until they flake like a croissant.


🎣 Hands & Ears (Don’t Skip These)

SPF goes on hands and ears too. Those are the first spots that fry, and the ones people always forget.


For When You Forgot and F*cked It

  • Aloe vera gel - slap it on, cry quietly.

  • Cicaplast Balm B5 by La Roche-Posay - fixes sunburn, irritation, and the shame of everyone reminding you how red you are.

  • Wear a cap, even if it ruins your hair - sun damage only looks worse as you age.


TL;DR

SPF isn’t optional. It’s the only thing standing between you and looking 43 at 29.

Reapply. Hydrate. Cover up. And save the sun-worship for the charter guest that looks like a leather handbag.
